Department of Physics, Chemistry & Electronic Science
February, 2016
Department of Physics, Chemistry & Electronic Science
The Department has been established right at the inception of the Institute in 2010 as in part of Basic Science & Humanities Department. At present, the department comprises of Physics, Chemistry & Electronic Science. The Department has a rich heritage of qualified teaching and research works in the field of aforesaid subjects. Faculty members of this department have submitted different projects in DST, ICMR etc. and out of them, one DST, One ICMR and two Institute’s projects have been sanctioned. The faculty members of the department have been actively involved in departmental activities and participating in administrative works as well including developmental activities of the Institute for its future growth; with the objectives of imparting theoretical and practical knowledge to the students in the area of Physics, Chemistry, Electronic Science and providing teaching and learning to make the students acquainted with advanced science and technology. The department has started PhD programmes in many areas of Physics, Chemistry and Material Science. Along with PhD programme, the department has started a joint inter-disciplinary MS programme in ‘Mathematical Physics’ in collaboration with Mathematics department. Another new MS programme in ‘Electronic Science’ will start from 2016-17 academic sessions.
The objective is to inject the future scope and the research direction encompassing all the disciplines while making students competent towards research and development in advance science and technology. Upon completion of the subjects, the learning outcomes will train the students who will become Physicists, Chemists, Scientists and Engineers. Students will be skilled both theoretically and practically to do operation, control and maintenance of works in all the disciplines. Students will also be substantially prepared to take up prospective research assignments
